Here is some of what's coming

Every runner gets a race worth celebrating

Wherever you are in your running journey — chasing the podium, chasing a PB, or chasing your kid down the finishing straight — this one's for you.

01

Fast fun

Feeling competitive? We'll have a strong elite field, speedy pacers, and prize money for top finishers.

02

PB awards

Not sprinting for the podium? Chase your own best. Finish in a personal-best time and a special treat is waiting past the line — enter your current 10k PB at registration to qualify.

03

Fun kids race

Parents can run with their kids, and our cheer squad and pacers will make sure our littlest runners have an awesome (and safe) race experience.

04

Stay salty

For 2026 we're beefing up our on-course monitoring team, with extra salt, shovels, and helping hands ready if the weather decides to get creative.

05

Post-race hangout

Warm up in our heated Warming Area, grab a nutritious snack, check out the sponsor tables, and show off your medal at the post-race party.

06

Say cheese!

Professional photographers and videographers on course, with free photos for participants. Start practising that finish-line pose.

Plus: age-group prizes, awesome swag (beanies, medals, and more!), a special celebration for the final finisher across the line, and equity best practices for women's, men's, non-binary, and gender-non-identifying members of our community.

Supporting Community Centre 55

Every stride supports the neighbourhood

For the fourth year running, the Holiday 10k supports Community Centre 55 — the heart of the community in Toronto's east end. Every registration and every donation helps fund the programs they run all year long, from youth services to their legendary Share-a-Christmas program.
